    Barber Dimes And Indian Head Cents

    Late in the day hunts yesterday and today yielded me a few keepers. Yesterday it was a 1908 Barber dime and two Indian Head cents. Today I had to cut the hunt short due to rain, but I did manage two nice barber dimes, dated 1900 and 1905, as well as two more Indian Head cents. My Indian Head cent count for the year now stands at 149.

    Pretty darn good for a hunt cut short.
    I just love all of the old coins you folks on the right coast summon up from the depths.
    Excellent job Angel... and your IH count is quite amazing.

    Indians and silver...I see a common theme here lol Nice to see there are still a couple of straglers hanging around them hunted areas. It's getting harder and harder to coax out them Barbers and Seated from them areas now. The silver rush may need to be moved via a roadtrip lol

    Yeah, a road trip to Joe's parks. lol

    It is getting harder to find what is left from nearby parks. I may need to pull out my list of parks and plan some Saturday trips.
